SURGERY – OUR PROCESS
When you arrive for your procedure, you will be welcomed and will be taken into a patient lounge area where your doctor will assess your general wellbeing. Your nurse will ask questions about your medical history, check your blood pressure, pulse, and temperature, and put eye drops into your eyes. You will then go through to the anaesthetic room where you will be given more eye drops and be made comfortable in preparation for the procedure.
The procedure can take between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the severity of your surgery. Your nurse will be with you to keep you company and ensure you are comfortable; the surgery itself is not normally painful. Once the surgery is finished you will be taken back into the quiet patient lounge area. You will need to stay here for 20-30 minutes following surgery. Before leaving, you will be able to arrange your post-operative assessment, which will be on the next day after surgery. After two week of surgery
